ment is on foot to establish government

Mexico the range horses have been i'm

There are some objections to the proposed

Just as you are quite close to the city
the scenery around you loses what i may
be permitted to style its platitudes. Hal
and vale. grove and pasture land disap-
near as il by magic, and while the tram
steams along through the lagoons, you
seem to feel yourself whirl into quite

the ground. No trees fling their shadows
athvart the wastes. All is sea, and all is
reddish sand on the shores OF the Adriaac
Waves, more like those OF lake than
idal, roll langnidIy along the strand
within fsw feet Of the railway carriage;
and there is certain subtle calm brood
ing over the desolate scene that renders
the mind pensive and carries 1t back 10
the time when all was life and hustle amid
these blue waters; when commerce knew
no other rendezvous and industry no
other home than Venice; when trophies
from western isles and from far Oriental

81 find these army names," said an old
Indianian, sticking to good many men
in public life, and wherever find the
name find a story. Over in my old district
is a man called Sandy. To the ordinary
observer there is no reason in the world
for the nickname and no appropriateness
in it, But in one of the very earliest
skirmishes of the war he was on picket
duty and was directed to get as near the
Confederate line as he could. He crept up
to within few feet of the vedette post of
Confederate pickets, and quietly digging a
hole in the sand he burrowed there until
nearly morning listening to all that was
said. When he came back to report he
must have shaken two or three quarts Of
sand from his clothes and his shoes, and
the boys gave him on the spot the name
of Sandy. 1t stuck to him through his
army career, and now that he is in public
life he is still called Sandy. Inter Ocean

Card from Mr.. u. n. Burns.

To the Editor OF the Republic:
The article signed ''Citizen," on the edi-
torial page of your issue of the 27th ult..
has been replied 10 by me in another papeis
and deeds no further attention.
If this newspaper discussion of the valu-
alton of property for assessment has a
favorable influence in correcting well-knOwn
evils. it will evidently tighten the task of
the board of equalization hereafter, and be
relief TO over-burdened tax payers. This
question is not new, but one in which there
is great interest in many cities, including
Springfield. 1t can not be blinked away.
In your issue of February fst, ''Citfzen"
still seems ashamed of his name; but am
glad he is making progress toward the light,
as he admits. that 1T may be possible there

does he know? -

We reproduce from the Ohio State Jour
nal, with great degree of pleasure, the
following paragraph:
The appointment of Henry Monett as
general passenger and ticket agent Of the
New York Central Railroad company is a
worthy recognition of merit and industry.
Mr.. Monet is only thirty-three years of
age and has reached the summit long be
fore he is in his prime. He started at the
bottom of the ladder in this city under Col.
W. l.. O'Brien, became his chief clerk, then
chief assistant for the Pennsylvania COM
pany, and afterward was at the head of the
passenger department of the Nickel Plate
and West Shore lines. He brings valuable
experience. new blood and the highest or
der of business capacity TO the New York

and that Mr.. Morett has always been equal

The Philadelphia Times, speaking o.
newspaper advertising, sets out some strong
points that apply with force to
Springfield. The remarks are as follows:
The waste of money by ill-advised adver-
tising Is nearly or quite as much as would
ljberaliy advertise our trade in the best
channels. Many establishments spend more
for costly circulars and their distribution
than would present their business to hund-
reds of thousands of thrifty dealers through
widely-read newspapers; and the circular
seldom reaches any Others than servant
as II passes to the waste-basket or kindling-
box. The advertisements of our leading
retail stores are as regularly read in the
leading newspapers by men. women and
children In families as are weather, market
and fashion reports. They are made fresh
and readable as genius and skill can
make them, and while circulars serve
the only purpose of starting the morn
ing fire, the wise advertiser daily sum
mons his customers from the homes
of the land and his advertisingis Is the life OF
his trade. The fact that there is not great
advertiser IN legitimate trade in this city
who has not gathered fortune from his bnsi-
ness. while old and apparently well estab-
lished houses have Ianguished and died. is
conclusive proof that the newspaper that
commands large circles OF intelligent and
progressive readers is the open highway to
business success and fortune.
1t occurs to us to suggest, at this stage OF
the proceedings, that tomorrow's REPUBLIC
will be dandy issue in which TO adyer'
tise-on account of its especially at
tractive features and its extraordinaril,
large circulation. Business men shoult
